ADVERTISING DEVICE.

To all uy/wm it may concern.' v

Be it known that I, CHARLES MCGINN, a subjectof Great Britain, residingat Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga, State of Ohio, have invented anew and useful Advertising Device, of which the following, in connectionwith the accompanying drawing, is a specification.

The objects of the invention are to provide a simple and practicalmethod of arranging advertising matter upon the frame of a mirror, wherethe advertisements will attract the attention of all who pass in frontof the frame.

This is especially useful asan advertising medium in barber shops,`where the advertisements will be observed by a constantly changingprocession of people. The invention includes perforated flexible bandsor members, attachable at any convenient points, such as at theirextremities, to the frame, and to which advertising signs or cards canbe readily attached, by means of suitable metal fasteners passingthrough said perforations at any selective points.`

In this manneryan extremely convenient apparatus can be quicklyinstalled, upon which cards lor signs of various sizes can be adjustedand detachably secured at pleasure.

The invention is illustrated vin the accompanying drawings, ishereinafter more fully described, and specifically pointed out in theclaims. y v

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is an elevation showing a framewith three mirror glasses, illustrating the use ofrlexible ybandsattached to the frame upon which the advertising matter is supported;Fig. 2 is a similar viewvshowing small chains em'- ployed Yfor thispurpose; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the frame showing a bandwith advertising cards attached thereto; Fig. 4 is a plan view of achain capable of use in this device; Fig. 5 is a plan view of aperforated band or ribbon; Fig. 6 is a transverse section of aperforated metal band and'card, showing the manner of deltachablysecuring the advertising cards thereto; F ig. 7 shows the perforatedcorner of an advertising card.- Y

This invention is an improvement upon the device shown and claimedin myprior Letters Patent No. 739,019, granted to me` Sept. 15, 1903, inwhich rigid wooden slats spiication ofLettersraient.v

are secured to a mirror frame, and to which vthe advertising matter isattached byk tacks or nails. v

The advantagesofl this device over `the i former device in convenienceof use and storing and transportation are much greater, since the chainsand flexible metal ribbons can be packed in a very small-compass and canbe easily carried, whereas the woooden bars or slats require a gooddeall of space for storage-and they are too cumbersome to be readilyadjusted to position.

In the drawings A represents the mirror frame; B, B, are perforatedflexible metal),

bands which are -tightly stretched in parallel position from one cornerof the frameto another, and are attached thereto by means of screws orhooks C, C, which are attached to the top, sides and intermediate barsof the mirror frame. 1 Y

In Fig. 2 small chains'are employed in I-I, H, are close enough`together to make the attachment The side andintermediate bands orchains TheV openings in the chainsv of the cards possible at any passedthrougi the perforations D, in .i

are attached to lthe lower band or kchain at y the top of the frame byhooking them thereover at 11 and by nails or screws at the lower end.

The cards may befperforated desired' at the time of hanging them.

Having describedfthe invention, what I claim as-new and desire to secureby Let-v ters Patent is 7 cards, the combination with a mirror, offlexible members having spaced openings therein, and attached inparallellines to the 'members, and flexible metal fasteners, in-A y -10'0V 1.
